MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      1 cn Pumpkin; 16oz   *or*
           .  2 cups pureed pumpkin
    1/2 c  Brown sugar; packed
      1 tb Flour
    1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/2 ts Cinnamon
    1/2 ts Nutmeg; grated
    1/4 ts Ginger; grated
    1/4 ts Ground allspice
  1 1/3 c  Milk
      1 lg Egg; slightly beaten
      2 lg Egg whites; slightly beaten
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    1/2 c  Crystallized ginger; finely
           .  chopped
           Fresh fruit for garnish
 
  Preheat the oven to 350ø.  Spray a 9-in pie plate with non-stick
  cooking spray.  Set aside.
  
  Mix cookie crumbs with the cinnamon and about 2 Tbsp of the egg white
  in a small bowl, crumbling the mixture together with your fingers
  until crumbs are moistened but not soggy or sticky (add a few more
  drops of egg white if needed). Turn the mixture into the prepared pie
  plate, then press it into the bottom and up the sides of the plate.
  Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then raise the oven temperature to 400ø.
  
  While the crust bakes, whisk all of the filling ingredients together
  in a large mixing bowl. To avoid spills, pour the mixture into the
  crust while still on the oven shelf.
  
  Bake 45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly
  wobbly in the center. Remove from oven and sprinkle with crystallized
  ginger, if using. Cool pie to room temperature. Garnish with fresh
  fruit, if you like. Makes 8 servings.
